You never know what you’re gonna get when you go out for an adventure. Yesterday was all about dragonflies. It gave me a chance to test in flight tracking skills. So here’s two, I’ve never seen a dragonfly like this. It’s like a goth Halloween dragonfly! #Canon #Bugsky #Photography #ECK

GM Bluesky! What a beautiful day! It's actually cool out, well for now at least. This youngster was very cooperative with me, I am surprised I didn't scare them away, I was pretty close! #Canon #Photography #ECK #herps

I think they look great! Personal opinion but sometimes the edit can remove some of the rawness and energy leaving something polished but somehow less...

Would you believe I used a flash for this shot? While most professional concerts prohibit the use of flashes, I was allowed to use one for this show. My flash can power down to a mere 1/8000th of its full power, creating a faint flicker of fill light. #Canon #humansofbluesky #photography #ECK

#MacroMonday #ColorADay #PinkMon All sorts of pink and other colors in this hibiscus flower. #ECK #BloomScrolling #Hibiscus #Gardening
Closeup of a large hibiscus flower that is so colorful. It has pale yellow around the edges of the petals, then it transitions to orange, coral pink, bright pink, and finally a deep red in the center with a red stamen and yellow and red anthers. The petals are crinkly-looking, sort of like crepe paper. The background is dark green leaves.

large slabs of thinning and dirty broken ice encrusts the shallows of a river that has begun to flow once again, the barren trees and bushes on the distant shore evoke a muted earthy brown, and the sky above, a muddled mix of hazy blues

I really like that. It always feels like being brave, to let the subject *be* small, where a big subject will grab the attention on a small phone screen. Using the shallow depth of field to give the isolation looks awesome in this field 👌

I absolutely love watching lightning storms but can go without the thunder and rain. I used an intervalometer to take this shot. It consists of nine, five-second exposures stacked together, resulting in a total of 45 seconds. #Canon #Photography #ECK #Landscape
Lighting bolts gracefully stretch across the sky, gently illuminating a serene lake.

#Birds #Raptor Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social says today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfTheMonth. A juvenile Bald Eagle calling to its sibling, which was perched in a tree on the other side of the Nechako River.
A mostly chocolate brown coloured raptor faces right, into the sunshine with it's beak open. Its head & shoulders are visible against a bright blue sky. Pine needles frame the left & a few Spruce branches on the right.

A vibrantly coloured peacock butterfly sits with its wings spread wide on white, daisy-like flowers. The upper surfaces of its wings gleam in a rich reddish-brown and feature four large, blue-black eye spots, each surrounded by a yellowish border. The upper right edge of the wing is slightly damaged. In the background, green leaves and further withered, brownish flower buds can be seen.

Hi BlueSky! So, I did a thing... I'm not good at being on the other side of the camera, but in this case, why not? In a life's-too-short moment, I did a flight in a 2 seater Spitfire from Tatenhill Airfield. Taking the controls was truly magical! See Alt Flyaspitfire.com #Spitfire #aviation #flying
Two seat Spitfire.  View looking rearwards at the rear seat. Passenger view as the plane rolls inverted. Two seat Spitfire.  View looking rearwards at the rear seat. Piloting this time, as the plane banks right with some back pressure on the stick. Wow. Just a hint of the power and precision. Everything you ever read about flying a spitfire suddenly makes sense. Mark 8 Spitfire Lady Ellen 3, a 2-seat prototype, taxiing for takeoff. Orange spinner and unusual USAAF star markings. Gulp.

Back to the days (but two short years ago) when my #MondayDoodle pieces were seemingly snapped up within minutes of me finishing them - an ex Colin McRae Subaru. I love drawing lights. I might sketch a massive Cibie Oscar, before I retire my pencils. 😁 #TurboTuesday
